Holiday Banana Pudding

In the middle of this summer I got the idea for Holiday Banana Pudding using Speculaas cookies instead of vanilla wafers. I waited for almost 6 months to finally make it.

Speculaas cookies are one of my favorite cookies. They are thin and crunchy shortbread biscuits from Northern Europe (Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France), so fragrant and full of almonds and Christmas spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, and white pepper (similar to Black Pepper Cookies). Wooden stamp is used to decorate the cookies with images of windmill, elephant, mermaid etc.

If you layer your banana pudding with these cookies, it will not only taste Christmassy, but it will look pretty as well.

Of course, you can also choose to make classic Homemade Banana Pudding:
